Fishtank Ensemble wishes to thank everyone who attended one of our shows in 2005--especially the new fans who took a chance on a band they hadn't heard before. We also wish to thank the people who bought our CD, took us into their homes, and the sound people, booking agents, and club owners who made the tour possible. You made the music happen!

Fishtank is currently on hiatus while Ursula delivers her baby, but plans to schedule shows starting in Fall, 2006. Check back around mid-summer for more details. Meanwhile, the new CD Super Raoul (in a much improved second edition) is available on-line at CD baby. Also, members of Fishtank will be appearing with their other bands: you'll find those listed in the FAQ page

Fishtank is looking forward to seeing YOU at our shows in 2006!

Mary and Herb Mayer, Sara Kolp, Mark Ryan, Mike and Jane Smolens, Scott Knudson, Ron Sellers, Virginia Sellers, the Knudson family, Bianna, the Tempest, Dax Tran-Caffee for his great paintings, and all of Fishtank for their patience! --Ursula
